§ 8258 Preschool Program Cost Limits

• •The state can't spend more than 15% of preschool program money on admin costs (like office stuff, salaries for managers, etc.).
• •At least 85% of the money must go directly to helping kids (like teachers, toys, food, etc.).
• •This rule applies to all preschool programs paid for by the state or federal government, unless the law says otherwise.

A preschool gets $100,000 from the state to help kids learn.

The preschool can only use $15,000 for admin stuff (like paying the principal or buying paper for the office). The other $85,000 must go to things like teachers, books, and snacks for the kids.
